Allow user access Scheduled Tasks

[DD]

I have some schedule job on the server and need to let user to run the
task,because some of the third part program only can run from th server. so
no choice, i have to let user access the scheduled task to trigger the job.

Can it be done ?

Place the task inside a batch file like so:

@echo off
if not exist d:\Shares\SomeUser\Tasks\go.txt goto :eof
del d:\Shares\SomeUser\Tasks\go.txt
"c:\Program Files\Some App\launch.exe"

Now do this:
- Schedule this task to run once every five minutes.
- Give the user a shortcut that generates the file
\\Server\SomeUser\Tasks\go.txt.

When the user double-clicks this shortcut, the semaphore
file "go.txt" will be created, which will cause the scheduled
task to run within five minutes.

If it's really a scheduled task, why does it require any user interaction at
all?

Sorry, I would said that is a batch job and and already scheduled in the task
but we do not have the fix timing to run the job, user must be able to run
the job anytime when they finish they day end closing.

The command only can run from the server not from user pc.

How can i let user run the bactch from the server not from client pc ?

Sorry, a bit confused, can the instruction more details?step by step

My requirement user can trigger the server task schedule or server batch job
and the command inside the batch job must run from server not from user pc.

eg this command "proshut" if run this command from user pc, can not work,
only server recongnise this command.
